I have installed 8.7d, the bundled SQL express, and I have filtered my log files with LogParser just fine.
I've copied the filtered logs to directories under the install-created \Imported Logs\ directories.
When I create a profile, point to those filtered logs, then begin the analysis, I get absolutely nothing. No job in the queue, even though the application tells me the job is submitted to the queue. No status, no updates, no errors. Nothing.
